Plus-size ballerina Lizzy Howell fights stereotypes with dance. The 15-year-old from Milford, Delaware has been dancing for 10 years, and became an inspiration for thousands when a clip of her nailing a series of fouett turns went viral on the internet. Lizzy practices jazz and tap dancing along with ballet. She trains 4 days a week and proves that dedication beats everything. On top of that, dancing helps Howell manage anxiety from her pseudo tumor cerebri-a condition that causes excess fluid around the brain. She also has become the ambassador for Dancing for You, a disability awareness campaign.
